Dreams

So I was going over the whole 'Dream' momentum of life. How much do you believe in dreams or the dreams you have? Do you take note of your dreams and act on those that you have? Do you even dream at all or remember your dreams? And last but not least, do your dreams frighten you?

Dreams are such an important part of our lives, though maybe we don't realise this or take much notice of this. But while we're asleep, this is when our mind truly comes alive in its creative and imaginative form.

I generally remember every dream that I have and fortunate enough for me I do not have bad dreams or nightmares often at all. I distinguish the two as I believe bad dreams and nightmares are two totally different entities in their own right. I mean a bad dream could be you falling over and breaking an arm, but a nightmare, well, nightmares are in a different league altogether.

Dreams and our way of dreaming just fascinates me. Everything about a dream intrigues me, be it good or bad. It's like we become a different person when we dream, maybe someone we don't really know, as when we dream we're kind of setting our minds free, releasing it into another dimension of life that can't exist in the conscious world of our minds.

And how creative can dreams be? I often think back on my (the ones I remember of course) and think who was that person? Do I know them? Will I get to know them? Have they in some way crossed my path of life?

The images of people we create while dreaming is so vast, some are those of people we know, but then you have those random dream like characters that leave you wondering just who they are or were. How much notice do you take of your dreams or do you simply wake up and crack on with you day?

I do personally believe that there is more to a dream that meets the living eye. It's like the mind truly is a world, a universe of it's own, which deep down is different to the world we live in, in our conscious (awake) state of mind.

Dreaming is important to us as it also helps us to recover, heal and mend. And where nightmares are concerned, well I guess these are like counsellors, in the sense they force us to face and deal with our demons. We may not like them or be afraid of them, but until we tackle the issues involved in such nightmare dreams, then they will persist.

This has just been my basic overview of how I perceive dreams and dreaming.

Would be nice to hear your thoughts and views on dreams.

All the best
